It wasn’t that he didn’t have strong feelings for her, he did. He just wasn’t sure he could love again, let alone if he wanted to. Love had almost broken him once. Twice?

He didn’t think he’d make it through.

He finished cleaning up and rubbed himself dry. His gaze landed on that deep tub, and he remembered Hannah’s excitement over it.

Blake plugged the tub and ran the hot water, pouring some complimentary bubble bath into it. Taking care of Hannah and settling her in for a nice soak in the tub should make up for his dick move. He wrapped the towel around his waist and walked in to get Hannah.

He realized she’d fallen asleep as he watched the slow rise and fall of her chest, her face turned toward him.

Part of him wanted to just let her rest, but then he thought about the blood and imagined she’d feel better after a good soak.

Slowly, Blake bent over and picked her up off the bed, carrying her into the bathroom.

“Hmm, what’re you doing?” she mumbled.

“Cleaning you up.”

Hannah lifted her head from his chest and looked up at him with one eye squinted. “Did you run me a bath?”

“I ran us a bath.” He stepped into the large tub and sank down with her. The tub had two seats, but he preferred her right where she was.

“Lean back against me.”

She did as he asked, and he grabbed a washcloth from the stack of towels displayed artfully in the basket behind the tub.

Dunking it into the hot water, he ran the soft cloth over Hannah, starting at her chest and working his way down. As he took care of her, she relaxed back into him, and he heard her hum of pleasure.

“This is heaven.”

Blake moved her hair out of the way so he could kiss her neck. “I don’t know about that, but I’m trying to make things good for you.”

“You did. Just being here with you is good for me.” Hannah rolled over on top of him and kissed his mouth.

Blake’s fingers threaded in her hair as he cradled the back of her head, his mouth opening against hers. Their tongues played together as Hannah rubbed her body against him.

Blake’s dick stirred to life, stiff with excitement, and he grimaced. “We probably shouldn’t yet.”

Hannah lifted over him and smiled down at him. “I’m fine. Go get a condom.”

There was no way he was going to argue. Blake laughed as he leaned up and kissed her before climbing out of the tub. He rummaged through his duffle and opened the box he’d brought.

When he came back into the bathroom, Hannah was leaning over the side.

“Can I try something before you climb in?”

Blake, curious, grinned. “Sure.”

“Okay, stand right here.”

bsp; He moved to where she’d pointed, and before he knew what she was going to do, her hand had reached out and circled his cock.

“Is this okay?” She squeezed him gently and slid her hand down.

“Um, yeah.”

She leaned farther over the tub, and he watched as she licked along the head, her little pink tongue driving him wild.
